BEARER FOR CORRODING-POTS;

Original application filed January 22, 1909, Serial No. 473,631.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 13, 1912;

Divided and. this application filed December 27, 1910. Serial No. 599,376.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT J. MEIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glendale, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bearers for Corroding-Pots, of which the following is a specification.

This application is a division and continuation of one filed by me January 22, 1909, Serial No. 473,631.

This invention relates to bearing devices and has for its object to provide a device of this character that is adapted for conveying lead corroding pots and the like and particularly combined lead corroding pots and buckles like those disclosed in my copending application, Serial No. 473,631, filed January 22, 1909.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which like numbers of reference denote like parts wherever they occur, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device for transporting a plurality of combined buckles and corroding pots; Fig. 2 is an end elevation of same; Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate details of construction of the transporting device; Fig. 5 shows means for sup porting a combined buckle and corroding pot; and Figs. 6 and 7 show two modifications thereof.

The combined buckles and corroding pots 1 hereinafter referred to are preferably formed as described in my copending application, Serial No. 473,631, filed January 22, 1909. Said corroding pots are conveyed from the place at which same are formed to a corroding chamber in which same are converted into white lead in the manner disclosed in my Patent No. 906,253, dated December 8, 1908.

In order to transport a plurality of pets 1 into the corroding chamber at one time and thus save the labor and time of many trips, a carrier composed of a pair of bars 2 having handles 3 is utilized. Said bars are tied together by rods 4 and the pots 1 are supported thereon by lugs 5, preferably in the form shown in Fig. 5, but which may, also, assume the shape and position depicted in Figs. 6 and 7. Said lugs rest upon bars 2. A support 6 is pivoted at 7 to a rod 4 and is held in the position-shown in Fig. 1 by tie-rod 8 which latches over pin 9 by means of hook 10. With the support in the position shown in Fig. 1 the corroding pots are held against endwise movement with respect to the bars 2 in the position illustrated in the same figure in which the acid 11 rests as indicated in cup 12. There may be either one or more tie-rods 8 and accompanying parts.

By reference to Fig. 1, it will be seen that a front pot is supported by contact with an adjacent rear pot. The pots, which have the supporting lugs 5, at their upper ends, are suspended from the carrier, the lugs engaging the carrier so as to support the pots in depending relation to the carrier.

I claim:

1. A bearer for corroding pots comprising a pair of parallel members, a support projecting thereunder, and a tie-rod connecting said support to one of said parallel members, there being a projection from one of said members and said tie-rod being provided with a hook adapted to cooperate therewith.

2. A bearer for corroding pots comprising a pair of members, a support pivoted to said members at its upper end and depending therefrom at an angle. and a tie rod con nected to the end of the support at the base thereof and having its upper end connected to one of said members.

3. A bearer for a series of corroding pots, including main supporting means for engagement with means formed on the pots whereby the pots are supported from said. means in depending relation thereto, and a front pot is supported by contact with an adjacent rear pot, and means carried by said supporting means for engagement with one of the end pots to hold same against endwise movement with respect to the main supporting means.

4. A bearer for corroding pots, including a pair of spaced parallel members for engagement with means on the pots whereby the latter are suspended from the members, and an end support depending from said members at an angle thereto whereby to support an end pot at an angle to said mem bers.

5. A bearer for a plurality of corroding pots including spaced members to support the pots in suspended relation thereto, and means to hold the pots at an angle to the members against endwise movement with respect to said members.

6. A bearer for a plurality of corroding pots including carrier means to engage the pots to support the same in depending relation thereto, and means to hold the pots at an angle to said carrier means.

7. A bearer for a plurality of corroding pots, including carriermeans to support the pots in depending relation thereto so that a front pot is supported by contact with an adjacent rear pot, and means carried by the carrier means and depending therefrom to hold the rearmost pot at an angle to the carrier means.

8. A bearer for corroding pots which pots have supporting means formed on their up- 15 signature in the presence of two witnesses.
